{"product_id":"hard-way-to-live","title":"Hard Way To Live","description":"\u003cp\u003ePratt \u0026amp; Moody return with a new 7” single on Timmion Records, pairing “Hard Way To Live” with “You Bring Me Joy” – two deep diving soul cuts that reaffirm their place among the true pioneers of the modern sweet \u0026amp; beat soul revival. Written and recorded together with Timmion’s trusted house band Cold Diamond \u0026amp; Mink, the single continues a lineage that has consistently blurred the line between contemporary songwriting and timeless soul aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A-side, “Hard Way To Live,” finds Pratt \u0026amp; Moody firmly in their beat ballad lane. Built on a warm, funky foundation, the song balances emotional weight with melodic lift, as its chorus opens into crossover soul-pop territory. Lyrically, it wrestles with life-earned scars and the quiet difficulty of letting go of pain that they cause – the feeling of keeping on running even after you’ve spent the last of what you had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e”On the flip, “You Bring Me Joy” unfolds like a slow-burning David Lynch scene, its dramatic crawl evoking soundtrack soul before bursting into a Stax-era Staple Singers inspired chorus. Tremolo-soaked guitar lines nod to classic dark surf music, while Emilia Sisco’s gospel-tinged background vocals nod to Mavis Staples, elevating the track into full emotional bloom. Together, these two songs offer a vivid preview of Pratt \u0026amp; Moody’s upcoming album – a deeper plunge into soulful storytelling, their tried and tested lowrider soul chops, and modern clarity, soon to follow on Timmion Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCatalog number: TR763\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timmion Records","offers":[{"title":"Standard Black Vinyl","offer_id":56875148607836,"sku":"TR763lp","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Transparent Yellow Vinyl","offer_id":56875148640604,"sku":"TR763lp-C1","price":9.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4017\/3916\/files\/TR763_A_3500x3500_086667c7-3576-4f1f-9b1a-6e6322d4229d.jpg?v=1772451989","url":"https:\/\/timmionrecords.com\/products\/hard-way-to-live","provider":"Timmion Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
